Defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) beat Mumbai Indians (MI) by 20 runs in the IPL 2024 El Clasico clash at the Wankhede in Mumbai on Sunday, April 14. Sent into bat after winning the toss, CSK put up 206-4 before restricting MI to 186-6.
Batting first, Chennai lost Ajinkya Rahane for 5 and Rachin Ravindra for 21. However, skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad (69 off 40) and Shivam Dube (66* off 38) played fine knocks to lift the side before MS Dhoni (20* off 4) put the finishing touches. Rohit Sharma (105* off 63) hit a brilliant ton in the chase, but his knock went in vain, as the other MI batters failed to deliver.
